Question about Lowering Springs???

Anyone here using H&R Lowering Springs and have 22" Wheels? Just want to know if it will clear without any rubbing or modifications. The book says the H&R's will lower the vehicle 1.8".
I will be using a Zenetti Spartan wheel 22x9.5" +15 offset and Toyo Proxes 255/35R22 tires.

I have a different set up. I'm using Eibach Pro Kit with a 1.6" drop. I have 22"s and 15 offset with Scorpion 265/35/22s. Initially with the 1.6" drop, I would only get rubbing on th efront driver fender if I hit a dip too fast. Once I knew to be carefull it was not a problem. Not like I have to creep across all intersections. Just could not drive the C like I drive a pick up.

After about 4 moths, I would see that som eof the dips I could take before at normal driving speeds, I had to take a little care. Things like daily commutes to work and entering driveways, store parking lot speed bumps, etc.

Based on my experience and you stating an 1.8" drop with the H&R springs, I would think you would have similar issues with the front rubbing a little.

A fender roll will take care of my issues, but they are so minor I have not got around to doing it.
